Creamy and mild, with juicy pear, a hint of apple, a soft oat body and a light nutty finish.
Oats bring fibre, including beta-glucan, and make smoothies thicker and more filling. Fine, tender oat flakes blend almost invisibly, while jumbo oats can leave a grainy texture.
Pear and apple both add natural sweetness and juice, and baby spinach contributes colour and vitamin K. Almond drink is light and slightly nutty; unsweetened versions are low in sugar, but also in protein. The result is a mild, balanced smoothie that keeps you going through the morning.
